What owners wrote
When applying ABS brakes, pedal traveled to the floor , causing extended stopping distance. Also, pressure applied to the brakes bent the brake pedal.
Rear brakes lockup every time it rains. This causes sliding on wet pavements. As of now I have not been in an accident because of this problem.
